It’s Will Ferrell, he does Will Ferrell movies. But if you really look at it, he tries to do something different with each one, whether it’s an action cop movie like ‘The Other Guys’ or doing ‘Talladega Nights’ going into red state America or ‘Casa de Mi Padre’ or ‘Stranger Than Fiction,’ which is more of a drama.
I used to think there was something dirty about being paid for something which is a sacred thing to do. I can’t disconnect the act of writing music from the act of prayer. If anyone tries to stop me working, it feels like someone is trying to stop me from taking communion.
The key with Coachella is looking like you didn’t try, but really, you know everyone tries.
A lot of the times, anything that somebody tries to say negative is actually kind of funny.

I try to be happy as much as I can. I’m really not a downer; I hate victims. I hate needy people. I’m that person who always tries to make the best of any situation. I’m probably happiest when I’m with my kids or with a gaggle of gays.
Windows never planned for a VR device. When you plug a HDMI cable into the computer, Windows thinks it’s a new monitor. The desktop blinks. It tries to rearrange windows and icons.
There are lots of different interpretations of the word ‘prodigy.’ My own is of someone who is talented and tries to help other children. So in that respect I could be called one, although I don’t think I’ll go off the rails.

I’m not someone who puts their money in a fund that earns 2 to 5 percent a year. I’m a man who tries to change things, move something with my money, to create jobs and, of course, at the same time earn more money with it.
There may be left-wing or liberal solutions to our deeper problems. But an elite that tries to manage them away with more enlightened media curation deserves to inherit nothing but the wind.
While the West tries to turn its civilization into cultural variety hour, Islam tries to turn Muslim lands into a cultural monolith. The same West that justifies the rap culture thinks that every Muslim terrorist bombing is an expression of economic angst or social alienation.

I’ve got no respect for anyone who tries to take the easy way out.
There are writers’ rooms that will write episodes all together, who will break into little groups and write certain scenes. Everyone’s process can be a little bit malleable. Everyone tries to get into a groove or find what works for their room.
In the beginning, for the first English record it was really hard for me because I’m a perfectionist and I really wanted it to sound natural and not like a German who tries to sing in English.

God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.
Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not strive to look better by making others look worse.
No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies.
#BlackLivesMatter is about black pride and black power and standing up against a world that tries to annihilate us.
J-Hope always tries to cheer us up, and I’m so grateful. Actually, I like to call him a new leader for the group.
New Orleans is New Orleans. It’s a great city and fun and great food. It’s one of those cities that when you are working hard hours like we work, you have to do as much as possible to stay out of trouble. Not much of a problem for me, but in New Orleans, trouble tries so much to find you.
If a musician dares to get out of the box he’s been put in, people get confused. They want people where they can find them! I am fortunate in some respects as I’ve always been known as someone who ‘moves around’ and tries different things. But generally, we are supposed to stay where we’re put.
I think acting’s very natural. It comes from a place of honesty, and if someone tries to teach you their way of doing it, that could be quite damaging.
RuPaul might not broadcast herself as political, but I think she tries to make moves in American history by catching more flies with honey than vinegar. Rather than telling people to vote, maybe she’ll do a mini-challenge on voting. She understands that you can influence people in a good way without preaching.
My father Rodger is your typical ‘funny without knowing it’ kinda guy. When he says something that creates shock or joy in a room, I love watching his confused face as he tries to work out what it is he did.
When a man tries to communicate with an animal, there’s a relationship between them, and you generally find this between the dog and his master.

Satan tries to counterfeit the work of God, and by doing this, he may deceive many. To make us lose hope, feel miserable like himself, and believe that we are beyond forgiveness, Satan might even misuse words from the scriptures that emphasize the justice of God in order to imply that there is no mercy.
Mum tries to make every race that she can.
I mean, George Bush is a man of prayer. He talks to the lord. He tries to get his direction from the lord.

Bigotry tries to keep truth safe in its hand with a grip that kills it.
Analysts keep having to pick away at the scab that the patient tries to form between himself and the analyst to cover over his wounds. The analyst keeps the surface raw, so that the wound will heal properly.

If I follow the media and everyone that tries to set expectations for me because I’m a high draft pick, if I follow that, I will never become a great player.
My constant endeavour is to offer something new to the audience. Every movie I pick, including ‘Loafer’, which offers a strong mother sentiment, tries to give the audiences a sense of watching something different.
